In the Netherlands, watch brand Carl F. Bucherer is -yet- not so well known among the general public. And that is a shame, because it is a gem within the watch industry.
Founded in 1888, the brand is considered one of the oldest Swiss watchmakers to have remained unbroken in the hands of its founding family. And the watches it makes are of a high standard, both in terms of technology and workmanship.
Carl F. Bucherer for him and her
Like this stylish Manero Peripheral BigDate. Totally contemporary, because made for both men and women, with a striking dial distinguished by the contrasting small seconds hand at 6 o'clock. In addition, a power reserve indicator at three o'clock, a day-of-the-week window at 9 o'clock and the feature that gives the watch its name: the large date window at 10 o'clock. You can admire that other element of the name, Peripheral, through the sapphire-glass back of the 41.6 mm measuring case: for here you can see the beautiful CFB A2011 calibre, the in-house automatic movement that powers the watch.
Peripheral
And one look at the movement immediately reveals the element that sets Carl F. Bucherer apart from almost all other watch brands: the distinctive peripheral rotor, which moves around the movement without obstructing the view of the technology underneath. The Manero Peripheral BigDate has a power reserve of 55 hours and is water-resistant to 3 bar. It is available with a light blue dial with contrasting beige and a dark grey dial with contrasting olive green.
Costs around €8100. More info via www.carl-f-bucherer.com
